Looking For a New Monitor

[Luke Bense-Kang]

Hi, I'm getting into CS:GO, and I'm well aware that a 144HZ monitor is essential to becoming "pro."  I'm wondering though if I should get the Asus VG248QE, or wait until new BenQ or Asus monitors come out, etc.  Please Respond, thanks!

The first question is do you have a PC setup that can even power 144FPS?

[Luke Bense-Kang]

Yes, I have a GTX 760.

Wow, I just looked up frame rate test's I am amazed. Apparently it will hit 150 FPS in CS:GO (that's what I get for not playing no intensive games) My bad.

 

Umm give me a sec let me check the models options.

I get 250+ frames on CS:GO, so no, I wouldn't be wasting money.

So...The answer is no. You don't. A GTX 760 is by no means powerful enough to get that sort of frame rate, and you would be throwing your cash away trying to get a 144Hz monitor.

i have no idea how would CS:Go perform but i doubt it's a demanding game

so the GTX 760 should be able to pump quite a high framerate

you'll want a monitor with not just low response time, but also low input lag

look for those

Sorry, I didn't relise how little CSGO needs for high frame rates:P You are correct. give me a sec and I'll have a look at the too models.

The Asus VG248QE that you stated would be a fantastic choice, not only is it G-Sync ready but also 3d Ready, With a 1ms response. There is little more you would need when it comes to FPS gaming and it comes highly viewed. Looks awesome for the price man. Up to you if you want to wait or not. But make sure if you do use this monitor you will need a Display Port connection that can support 144Hz or a older DVI connection..coming of the GPU of-course.

The G-Sync module kit for the VG248QE was a limited time promotion which has not been available for a long time, it doesn't really make sense to list it as a bullet point for that monitor.
